Hello,

My 69 has the SS front trim and HAD a SS badge on the trunk lid (its a SS clone) but the rear one was missing when I purchased the car. I got a new one but the holes in the trunk lid are 4 inches apart and the pegs on the back of the 'SS' badge are 3 1/4" apart.

Do they make SS badges with diff spacings? Or am I screwed because the prev owner must have miscalculated the hole locations when drilling?

Thanks

well the 69's didn't have any SS emblems on the actual trunk lid.
the trunk lid says 'nova' as an emblem.
SS is only on the grill and middle of the back panel.

ooops,

I meant the back panel, sorry. It is the black panel below the trunk and above the bumper.

My only guess would be that the 70-72 tailpiece (the one set up for the wider tailights) has a different stud spacing for the SS emblem. Doesn't make sense, but I've seen stranger stuff. Either that , or the source you got your SS emblem from isn't that picky when specifying what their items fit.

If you can get online to eyeball some closeups of some 68-9 SS cars, maybe that will clue you in on any inaccuracies to the part you bought.

Could it posssibly be an emblem from something else like a Chevelle or Camaro?
